What is the best place to put them down for a nap?
- The parent's bed
- The crib
- The couch
Correct Answer

A. The crib

Explanation

The best place to put a child down for a nap is in the crib. Cribs are specifically designed for infants and provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment. They have sturdy sides that prevent the child from rolling out or getting trapped, reducing the risk of accidents. The crib also promotes good sleep habits and helps establish a consistent nap routine. Additionally, placing the child in the crib teaches them to associate it with sleep, making it easier for them to fall asleep independently in the future.
